I agree that search and replace isn't that hard, but I don't find the

Yeah, I wouldn't have suggested it if it made the wording particularly difficult in the process. I don't know what your issue with the COPY one is:

"The following syntax was used before PostgreSQL version 7.3 and is still supported"

I can't parse that as anything other than "<7.3"; now sure how can someone read that to be "<="?

In any case, the two examples you gave are certainly good for showing the standard practices used here. Specific version numbers are strewn all about, and if there's commits mentioning 8.5 already in there one more won't hurt.
